Trump to Suspend Immigration?

Apparently so, if we take this tweet the President issued last night at face value. Restricting immigration to the US was one of Trump's core campaign planks, so it's not like he needs an excuse to hang out the NO VACANCY sign. Circumstances have nonetheless dropped a number of excellent…

Wasting a Crisis

Wasting a Crisis

It's taken for granted that Millennials are among the most left-leaning generations. Those who subscribe to Fourth Turning theory ascribe this leftward bent to a Hero generation coming of age during a time of unprecedented ease.

Trump’s Kobayashi Maru

Trump’s Kobayashi Maru

It's been ten days since President Donald Trump's coronavirus address in the Rose Garden. After stumbling out of the gate, he seemed to be rising to the occasion, with talk of more robust travel restrictions, medical guidelines, and direct aid to the American people.

Congressional Lemmings

The coronavirus pandemic has turned into something of a Voight-Kampff test. Instead of androids, it detects Suicide Cultists, which are really the next best thing. We can debate the government's wisdom in locking down travel and commerce. In fact, Mister Metokur debated comedian Dick Masterson on Ethan Ralph's #Killstream last…

Warlords

The Cracks Are Showing

The Cracks Are Showing

The globalists that have made a serious bid for world dominance since WWII constructed a seemingly impregnable hegemony. However, you don't have to look all that closely to see that the cracks are showing. In California's 25th Congressional District, carnival barker Cenk Uygur not only failed to win Katie Hill's…

Suicide Cult

Suicide Cult

Scary Computers

Political Hack Bill Mitchell has gone on a Twitter tear that amply demonstrates why I call basic Conservatives the Suicide Cult. The above may not be the platonic ideal of a Boomerpost, but it's certainly in the running. Submitted for your consideration: one of Bill's "Scary Computers" Corona-chan world tour:…

Commenter JD Cowan asks, So what does it say about the "conservatives" the stayed out of it [#GamerGate] and let the Ys fail while the "liberals" let their guys succeed? This tapestry is weaved much tighter than I first thought. My answer: It's simple. There are no Conservatives. There never…
